Awesome video, searched everywhere for solutions for our new printer when filament stopped extruding. Your simple instructions helped and we were able to resolve the issue. Many thanks
Awesome video! Thank you! New printer, not new to 3D Printing - the mother of all nozzle blocks I've ever seen in my life: cleaned the build plate and then started printing - all the filament got extruded inside the silicone cover - didn't think I'd ever get that cleaned up. Had to follow your video to get to the tiny piece still causing all my issues, was absolutely terrified taking this apart but you've made it super easy! ♥
Amazing :) For future reference I recently also put together a written guide: embracemaking.com/blogs/resources/troubleshooting-creality-under-extrusion
Y E S! I have hundreds of prints with CR10S and CE3V3KE. On the 10th print on the plus, I had the mother of all clogs. God damn, les terrible! I tried fixing this by heating the element and ripping the clog off. Ripped the cable for the temperature sensor as well. Very nice video, I'll get onto disassembly right away!
Thanks sooo much! My hot end got encased in PLA - this video helped me heaps! Unclogged the extruder... now printing a bench to test if I was successfully in my fix. Was hard work getting the PLA away from the wires - hope I didn't break any!
How very timely for me. My Ender 3 v3 was not feeding and the tool was not clearing it. Instructions were great. However, opening up the gear box was not as easy for me. I had to gently pry the top by leveraging the flathead screwdriver against the feeding wheels inside the gear box. But I am all clear now and recalibrated. Thank you!
Thank you very much, idk what happened but my printer head got filled with PLA. Had to heat up my allen wrench and melt it out before i could even remove the outside. I appreciate this video very much.
I had the same issue when a long print detached and the melting PLA found its way under the cover. Had a devil of a time getting the cover off and actually pulled a pin off the PCB board. Also detached one wire on the heating coil while trying to remove the blob. Bought a replacement nozzle/coil/sleeve from China for a pittance and got it working again. The pin that came off was for the fan inside the cover so I now run it without that cover which eliminates the possibility of plastic ever finding its way up there again. Been printing steady for over a month without the cover and my cheap nozzle and no issues.
I'm having the same issue Is your machine the v3 plus? My fan face plate has welded to the blob but I'm scared to cut it off incase it won't be able to print a replacement without it
@@EmbraceMaking I have changed the spool on one printer 3 times now, and every time it clogs. I have 3 of this printer and the other two don't clog up like this. Did I get a defective one?
Cheers for the video. Mine was feeding poorly and turned out was leaking. Thankfully managed to clear the mess and got away with only changing the nozzle.
Hello, I bought Ender 3 V3 a month ago. I made very good prints for a week, then I encountered the key-2529 fault. Do you have any information on how to fix this fault? thanks
I would contact Creality... when I search that fault it sounds like a bad leveling sensor chip ... they probably need to send you a replacement board that goes under the print bed...
What gave it away! Lol I can't wait to get my hands on an X1C as well. I have a video on the A1 and loved that printer too. Some people like to dump on Creality but their stuff has come a long way and I run both Creality and Bambu for production and neither are perfect. Both have challenges but both also print really great
@@EmbraceMaking That or just a regular replacement in general. Cant really find one, my entire machine works Im just trying to find the metal piece you put the extruder into, the ceramic hotend kit piece thing ( 7:10 in the video) the metal piece
I performed the procedure to remove the filament stuck in the nozzle, but after reassembly, I’m encountering error 2002, “input shaping error,” when trying to perform the inspection to start shaping and leveling. Could you give me some guidance?
My ender 3 v3 plus has been in use for a month and was printing with very poor quality. I investigated the problem and it seems to me that it is the movement of the head with respect to the bronze bushing. Does it happen to you?
Please hepl, I broke that peace that the nozzle conects to it, some pins break. where can i find this replacement? I event dont know how to name it. thank you
How did no one have trouble removing the cover ? I am on my second machine , the first arrived damage but i got to keep and fix it fairly cheaply. The first design flaw is the filament catcher . Ive had to glue them in as they pop out and do not thread properly.
could you please make a tutorial for modding the ender 3 v3 se/ke to have 40x10mm 24volt noctua fan? very specific but i am new and this is giving me trouble
Have u had any overheating? i got a new nozzle set it to extrude, and it went way past the 220 i had it set to. Even the silicone sleeve got all brittle. I got a replacement that i haven't tied yet. This is my first 3d printer.
I have a problem. My filament got stuck in the extruder i think and now the inside of my print head is filled with pla filament. I tried to get the grey cover off to see the inside. But ist so full its stuck so i cant get it off Is there any ome that knows a solitions for that? Thanks in advance
Do you have the spare part Numbers for the front Cover including the fan and for the heatsink ? My ender also stuck and i want to have a spare part if it stucks again ?
This machine is bad, actually its system is the problem. It checks only 5 points to make auto bed levelling in the start of every print and 6 out of 10 prints fail just because of that, while my other printers Anycubic Kobra 3 and Bambulab A1 checks more and more points and prints well with same filament. Actually Bambulab is the best, their technology is way over others... Anycubic's extruder is also weak like Creality's, chooses filament and stucks sometimes... Great work Creality, keep it on like this, noone will never buy your products if you dont update this absurd and weak auto levelling. Real charade...
Don't buy a Creality. The "after-sale" customer service is non-existant. And if you (like me) have problems with your 3D printer, you'll end up with an expensive paperweight. I've owned the KE for 6 weeks now. For 5 weeks, I've had nothing but problems, and Creality does nothing but automatically open and close cases without any attempt to resolve the issues. It's dead in the water with a screaming fan that sometimes doesn't work and burns filament, extruder is damaged, it stopped connecting to the Wi-Fi, and the flash drive doesn't read. Being that they won't fix it... the 3D printer, the scanner w/upgrade, the nebula camera, and the LED light will probably end up in the trash. No more headache. Don't waste uour money on them.

i've got my the fist clog in the extruder. your video really helped! thank you a lot!
Where did you aquire your replacement hotend components. Pcb board, heatsink fan, etc.?
I LOVE this video! Thank you so much!
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much! Earned a sub from me, not seen your other videos yet but the way you explained everything was brilliant for a noob like me.
Hey man
Thank you very much
Your tutorial helped me a lot!
glad it helped, thanks for watching!
How does the catastrophic failure at 7:45 occurr? I've had the same thing happen and it's a nightmare
which hot end did you buy to replace the hot end - can only find ithis kit for Ender-3 V3 KE Ceramic Heating Head Kit assuming the same ?
This video helped me fix my jammed extruder, I've a question, how can I prevent a full PLA clog like this from happening ?
thanks bro, vvery helpful
Thanks for watching and the comment too :)

Have you heard a skipping when trying to use tpu?
1000% Canadian. :) Thank you for you friendliness! i LOVE my Ender 3 V3 Max, but have moved onto a Bambu X1C. Still like the 1/3 price Ender better!

What would be a replacement for the whole head ?
I'm guessing you're asking about an aftermarket upgrade?
@@EmbraceMaking That or just a regular replacement in general. Cant really find one, my entire machine works Im just trying to find the metal piece you put the extruder into, the ceramic hotend kit piece thing ( 7:10 in the video) the metal piece

Just went through this same thing with my v3.
The blob that is. It ruined my fan also. Hopefully creality warranties the parts

My ender also stuck and i want to have a spare part if it stucks again ?
Super helpful!
When I changed the nozzle after over heating I lost the throat set screw doors anyone know what size it is?
I believe it's an M4 grub screw. Anything 6-10mm long should work I think
@@EmbraceMaking thank you so much
god bless you man
Thank you, you as well!

Them extruders are over-engineered junk I'm glad I've moved away from creality to Bambu Lab
